Getting Curious About “The Beast”
So, the other day, I was just browsing online, you know how it is, and stumbled upon some clips of Eddie Hall. Man, that guy is something else! Lifting those insane weights. It got me thinking, just how big is this fella, really? I mean, on screen, everyone looks different, right? So, I decided to do a little digging myself to find out his height and weight. Just a bit of personal curiosity, nothing too serious.
My Little Investigation
First thing I did was grab my phone – it’s always easier than firing up the old computer for a quick search. I just typed in “Eddie Hall height and weight” into the search bar. Pretty straightforward. Lots of stuff popped up, as you’d expect. Some articles, some fan pages, a bit of this and that.
I noticed that for weight, it’s not always a single number, which makes sense. These strongman guys, their weight can go up and down quite a bit, especially depending on if they’re in full competition mode or doing something else, like boxing which he did for a bit. So, I was looking for a general idea, maybe his peak strongman stats and perhaps what he’s around now.
I poked around a few different sites. Wikipedia is usually a decent starting point, though you always gotta take that with a pinch of salt. Then I saw some interviews and articles that seemed a bit more reliable. It’s funny how you sometimes see slightly different numbers here and there, so I tried to find what seemed most consistent or officially stated by him if possible.
Here’s What I Found
Alright, after a bit of clicking and reading, I got a pretty good picture. Here’s the lowdown on Eddie Hall’s stats that I pieced together:
- Height: Most sources consistently put him at around 6 feet 3 inches. Or, for folks who use metric, that’s about 190 cm. That’s a tall dude, for sure.
- Weight (Peak Strongman): This one, like I said, varies. At his peak, when he won World’s Strongest Man in 2017, he was a real giant. I saw figures around 196 kg, which is roughly 432 pounds! Can you even imagine? Some sources even mentioned him going up to 200kg at times.
- Weight (More Recently): Since retiring from strongman and doing other stuff like boxing, he’s slimmed down a lot. The numbers I saw for his more recent weight are significantly lower, maybe more in the 160 kg to 165 kg range, which is around 350 to 365 pounds, give or take. Still massive, but leaner.
So, yeah, “The Beast” is definitely a fitting nickname. It’s one thing to see it on TV, but when you actually look up the numbers, it’s quite something. Just putting that into perspective, 6’3″ and weighing over 400 pounds at his peak… wild.
It was just a quick search, but interesting to confirm those figures. Makes watching those old strongman competitions even more impressive, knowing the sheer scale of these athletes. Anyway, that was my little bit of internet sleuthing for the day!
